Amid recent and widespread inquiries into Joe Biden’s health and fitness to lead, the Resident-in-Chief has announced a visit to Walter Reed Medical for his annual checkup.
Let’s be real though, the checkup will likely not include a much-need cognitive exam—which is what we are all worried about.
I’ll make sure to give credit where credit is due. Biden is in excellent physical condition for an 81-year-old, but he isn’t running a triathlon.
It’s his mind that is deteriorating, not his body, and, quite frankly, even if it was, who cares?
The Presidency is a chess game—not an audition to join a football team. Chime in with a comment in the comments section if you believe Biden needs to take a cognitive exam and not a blood test.
President Joe Biden departed the White House for Walter Reed Medical Center for his highly-anticipated physical exam Wednesday morning.

Fox News reports:
Earlier this month, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, does not believe a cognitive test is necessary.
She said O’Connor believes Biden proves his cognitive ability “every day [in] how he operates and how he thinks.”
RNC Research jokingly remarked: “Biden shows INTENSE VIGOR as he half-jogs for a step on his way to Marine One. He is heading to get a physical (which will likely not include a much needed cognitive exam).”

The Associated Press writes:
The oldest president in U.S. history, Biden would be 86 by the end of a second term, should he win one.
After his last exam, performed in February 2023, doctors declared Biden “healthy, vigorous” and “fit” to handle his White House duties.
But voters are approaching this year’s election with misgivings about Biden’s age, having scrutinized his gaffes, his coughing, his slow walking and even a tumble off his bicycle.
